Non-Rails Capistrano Deploy Recipe
If you’re deploying non-Rails apps/websites, this snippet may be useful to you as it was to me.
I can’t remember when was the last time I actually used FTP to deploy websites. Then again, I don’t do much non-Rails apps nowadays…
set :application, ""
set :repository, ""
set :deploy_to, "/path/to/name"
set :user, 'deployer'
set :use_sudo, false
set :rvm_type, :system
set :scm, :git # You can set :scm explicitly or Capistrano will make an intelligent guess based on known version control directory names
# Or: `accurev`, `bzr`, `cvs`, `darcs`, `git`, `mercurial`, `perforce`, `subversion` or `none`
role :web, "" # Your HTTP server, Apache/etc
role :app, "" # This may be the same as your `Web` server
role :db, "", :primary => true # This is where Rails migrations will run
# if you want to clean up old releases on each deploy uncomment this:
# after "deploy:restart", "deploy:cleanup"
# if you're still using the script/reaper helper you will need
# these http://github.com/rails/irs_process_scripts
# If you are using Passenger mod_rails uncomment this:
#

task :migrate do
puts " not doing migrate because not a Rails application."
end

end

end
task :stop do
puts " not doing stop because not a Rails application."
end

puts " not doing restart because not a Rails application."
end
# namespace :assets do
# task :precompile, :roles => :web, :except => { :no_release => true } do
# from = source.next_revision(current_revision)
# if capture("cd #{latest_release} && #{source.local.log(from)} vendor/assets/ app/assets/ | wc -l").to_i > 0
# run %Q{cd #{latest_release} && #{rake} RAILS_ENV=#{rails_env} #{asset_env} assets:precompile}
# else
# logger.info "Skipping asset pre-compilation because there were no asset changes"
# end
# end
# end
end
